Hotel Chocolat are emailing out codes for £35 off the Velvetiser at the moment! I think they’re personalised to your account.

@covidmonkey Mrs snowballs bubble boutique did bathbomb advents last year a few different price ranges.

Is this Dr Botanicals?
I can't find a Dr Botanics

Worth having a look on Yankee bundles website. They have all sorts!

@purplediva I picked mine up yesterday. Use by is 03/21.

Hermes have had my JL gin at the local depot since Monday. Trying not to worry that the courier decided to have the gin instead 😬

Is the Hotel Chocolat velvatiser worth it?

@runningpink a HAWS watering can? The indoor ones are about £26 - gorgeous! I'm going to buy one for my Mum I think.

Excellent deal on the dressing gowns at studio, thanks. The code didnt work for me, but the third one unwanted was discounted anyway so that plus the two for £12 and managed to get three for £20, including postage, which is still a bargain!

I wanted not unwanted!

@runningpink - how about a personalised rose from something from www.countrygardenroses.co.uk. You can search for roses by name or they probably do friend/home ones? Also an A-Z option to see everything on offer. I've ordered from them several times and always been well received and good quality!

Velvitizer yes yes yes! Just about to have salted caramel hit choc & toasted tea cake. Can't wait for return if Christmas flavours, 2 years in and it's in constant use. Different flavours of hot chic sell out quick though.

Oooh - good to hear about the Velvetiser! I’ve been toying with getting one for ages but this £35 off tipped it for me. Not necessarily Christmassy as I’m sure mine will be in use as soon as it arrives

@runningpink

Not quite Christmassy but Looking for suggestions for a house gift? Friend just bought her first house with her boyfriend, which was delayed with lockdown.

Budget maybe around £30 mark

She loves plants, has a million indoor ones. And now has a garden so was thinking maybe something for the garden. But open to suggestions.

What about a retro watering can? We bought one for DH’s grandad who is an avid gardener and he loves it. Lots of different colours available, we got ours from ebay but here’s an example of the sort I mean: Selections 3.5 Litre Heritage Blue & Copper Metal Watering Can with Rose www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07P5DH5M9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_qBxpFb4AZJ2ZD?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

That plus a nice rose bush for her to plant in the garden would be lovely.

Oops just saw that @CottonHeadedNinnyMug and @Hurryupbaby11 had the same thoughts as me!

Oh I really hope I get a velvetiser code! My daughter would love this for Xmas (so would I) but can’t justify the £99 for one.

If anyone has a velvetiser code to donate please consider me. Not sure if it will work of course!

This is a very good deal on a set of speedcubes.

My son (and husband) are a Speedcubers and my daughter and I have also competed. The reviews of these are good and they would make perfect stocking stuffers.
